This growth is largely supported by the rising integration of advanced mobility technologies and the evolving role of cargo vans within modern logistics systems. Once primarily used by small service providers and local businesses, cargo vans are now critical assets within expansive delivery networks and corporate fleets. The continued boom in e-commerce has placed increasing pressure on logistics providers to meet high expectations for fast, efficient delivery. Cargo vans are uniquely positioned to address these needs due to their mid-sized design and ability to access both urban and suburban areas with ease. Furthermore, shifting environmental policies are encouraging the adoption of low-emission commercial transport options. New greenhouse gas standards targeting medium-duty vehicles are anticipated to impact fleet decisions in both the U.S. and Canada, pushing manufacturers and operators toward improved fuel economy and greener technologies. These regulatory shifts, combined with logistics sector growth, are accelerating the demand for high-performance, efficient cargo vans across North America.
In 2024, the internal combustion engine (ICE) cargo vans segment accounted for an 85% share and are projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% between 2025 and 2034. ICE vans maintain their lead in the market due to extensive fueling infrastructure, higher payload capacity, and better performance across long-haul commercial operations. Compared to electric alternatives, ICE vans continue to offer unmatched convenience in terms of refueling speed and route flexibility, especially in less urbanized areas across the region. Their dominance is reinforced by fleet familiarity, cost efficiency, and supply chain maturity.
The cargo vans with a payload capacity of less than 2 tons segment held a 54% share in 2024 and are projected to register a CAGR of 3.5% through 2034. This segment is preferred by small and medium-sized commercial buyers because of its cost-effectiveness, maneuverability, and broad utility across applications. Light-duty cargo vans offer lower operating costs, easier licensing, and fewer regulatory challenges, making them ideal for last-mile delivery, mobile services, and urban logistics.
U.S. Cargo Vans Market held 88% share, generating USD 37.36 billion in 2024, driven by strong OEM presence, robust demand from delivery and trade fleets, and consistent investment in manufacturing and infrastructure. Several leading automotive companies, including RAM (Stellantis), General Motors, BrightDrop, and Ford, continue to innovate and expand production across both ICE and electric cargo vans to serve a wide range of commercial applications within the U.S. market.
